In 1996, the World Food Summit declared access to adequate food is a fundamental right of every human being. Its action plan identified four areas in which governments are responsible for ensuring this human right: respect, protection, facilitation and provision. I’m particularly struck by the organization’s inclusion of the word “respect,” and am glad this was considered. The first step to helping someone is acknowledging he or she has value, just like every human being. We all have bellies that need filling, right? Today, pepper a little more respect into your conversations and actions, and remember that regardless of our stations in life, we all deserve a little dignity.
